Plot hole that has bugged me for years

Why didn't any of the other surgeons on Walsh's team come forward after the entire institute burned down? I mean they had to have remembered taking off the face of the guy who's all over the news for deactivating a bomb, putting it inside a case of preservation fluid at the institute that burned down yet they don't ever remember putting it back on?

Plus they remember putting the face of an international terrorist on the guy who's all over the news and the terrorist was left in the institute without a face. Aren't they the least bit curious where that terrorist may be considering he was not mentioned to be among the dead in the newspaper article?

I had not thought.of that

Yeah their boss is dead and the place they work at burned down, I’m pretty sure they are going to start asking some questions such as “where did that guy who we left faceless in the institute go and who put that FBI agents face back on?”

the bigger plothole is that they wouldn't look much like each other after the operation. different bone structure.

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 5 years ago

True and they both would have died from the operation.

I always wondered that too.

This movie is silly and makes no sense, but I love it.
